+Subject: [PATCH] libfdt: Add missing functions to shared library
+
+The commit 4e76ec7 "libfdt: Add fdt_next_subnode() to permit easy
+subnode iteration" adds new functions (fdt_{first,next}_subnode) but
+forgot to mark them as 'global' in the shared library.

+Subject: [PATCH] libfdt: Add some missing symbols to version.lds
+
+Several functions in the header file were missing from the version.lds
+script, meaning that they couldn't be used from a libfdt shared library.
+
+Reported by Ken Aaker, via github issue tracker.
